In my opinion, if you had talked to me a couple of years before today, I would have never expected myself to have anxiety or mental health issues. Being in high school has changed everything, I have a crimpling fear of being alone and not having friends. To the point where I try everything to not be alone, in classes or at lunch trying to fit in and changing myself for others. I don't know what to do at this point, I feel alone and not likable to others and myself. Is high school better alone?

I feel more sad than happy.
I am stressed. I do not know about life sometimes. I feel happy for a moment...for about a few minutes and then later on, I'll be sad again for some reasons...i...
I was like you, I was constantly scared of being alone. Even when I wasn’t alone, I still felt alone. But during grade 11-12 I lost most of my close friends. I thought I would feel sm more lonely… but I actually felt better. I was able to find some other people to talk to and it wasn’t so bad. Having a big friend group can also be very isolating because there is always someone getting left out
Replydont feel alone everyone feels that way i never expected i would either your not alone
ReplyI know how you feel. Freshman of high school year hit me hard and made me lose faith in friends. I felt alone and wondered why no one wanted to be friends with me. I wondered what was wrong with me. It’s been years since then and honestly the lack of friends never went away, but I can tell you that being alone doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it used to. I’ve accepted that I am a borderline friend, one who is on the outskirts of several friend groups, and I’ve used that to my advantage since I’m an introvert. Sometimes you find someone who is your best friend and you don’t need anyone else. My experience is that eventually you will find someone who wants to share in your life in some way. And sometimes you’ll meet someone and you’ll instantly click and you’ll wish you would have met them sooner. Don’t lose hope of finding that person to click with, but don’t sit around waiting for them either. Be friendly with people and patient for a friend. There’s a lot of people in high school I wish I would have been friendly with because it was obvious they needed a friend, but I didn’t want to be their friend because I thought they were weird or some other dumb reason. Be friends with the outcasts. You never know who else feels exactly like you and is waiting for someone like you to be friendly and open the door :)
ReplyHigh school is not better alone. That's all I can tell ya from my experience.
ReplyHii, I am probably at a similar position with you somehow. I am going to be senior this year, and except I prefer to be alone.
I admit that highschool is fun with friends, and all the fun activities or hangouts and stuffs. I am an introvert, that’s why I like to be learning at my own and it also helps me focus a lot better in class. I encourage you to be yourself, because if you keep a mask up, it would be hard to find the right/true/honest ones. Maybe highschool won’t be a fun experience for some of us, and maybe we’re going to experience them at work, or college, or other places or countless situations in the future. Keep your chin up, and cheer up! Be your true authentic self and one day you’ll meet many people in your life! There are billions of us in this planet, therefore someone is atleast willing to be by our side. It’s up to our decisions, ofcourse wether to accept them or not or if we think it’s healthy for us or not.
Fightingg! We’ll overcome these fears. <3
